I think a good condition, stock shortblock will handle 500+ as well as an LS1 will. You just need to upgrade the heads and valvetrain with that in mind. And yes, I am talking 500+ at the wheels.
It helps if your motor and transmission was built on a Wednesday, is a 4 bolt, and maybe a little holy water sprinkled in the right places too.
